However, in a series of messages, Black Sheep Management denied the claims, adding that both Price and Andre were communicating "for the benefit" of their young children.

"Time to clear up a few claims made in magazines over the Christmas period. None of the claims were put to us or Kate or are from us," they said, before listing a number of points.

"1. Kate does not wish to reunite with Pete and knows Pete does not wish to either. Contact between them is for the benefit of the Children. 2. There are not (never were) plans to spend time together as a family. There are not (never were) plans to film a new reality show together."

Adding that there "are and never were any plans" for Price to return to Can Associates for representation, Black Sheep Management hinted: "There are good reasons for these rumours being untrue which will become clear over time."

Finally, they added: "We are not sure who benefits from these claims being inaccurately made..."

Writing in his New magazine column this week, Andre also rubbished claims of a reunion, writing: "I don't want to be rude or disrespectful, but I feel the need to say that this is absolutely not true and will never happen. We are trying to be amicable and build bridges purely for the children's sakes, but that's all it is."
